Revision as of 04:18, 29 October 2006 by 152.163.100.5 (talk) (REVERT HU12 SPAM)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)A number of companies are now manufacturing Robotic Book Scanners. They include Kirtas Technologies and 4DigitalBooks. The robotic scanners consist of three parts: a robot to turn the pages; a cradle, or table, to hold the book; and a camera. The camera captures an image of each page, as the robot turns the pages of the book. During the process, the book remains intact.
Robotic book scanners are used by many digital library projects, including Google Book Search.
